A beautiful smile can once again be achieved with the application of dental crowns. Charlotte's skilled cosmetic dentists, Dr. Christian Yaste and Dr. Joe Hufanda, at Ballantyne Center for Dentistry provide patients with many cosmetic dentistry options, including dental crowns, porcelain veneers and dental implants to give you a better smile.
What is a dental crown?
Dental crowns or caps are often used to restore strength, as well as function to teeth injured by decay or trauma such as a weak tooth, or one that is malformed, or cracked.
CEREC and dental crown procedures
CEREC stands for CERamic REConstruction which restores your tooth with a natural tooth colored crown.
· Your Charlotte cosmetic dentist will work to reshape the tooth using different procedures depending on the extent of the damage.
· A photo is taken of your tooth using a special camera.
· The photo is converted into a 3D virtual model and using CAD technology, your permanent tooth crown is designed on the computer, guided by your Charlotte cosmetic dentist.
· The computer sends a digital version of the design to a milling machine that creates a ceramic tooth, designed specifically for your tooth and matching your tooth color.
Is a dental crown what you need?
Considering the extent of the damage and the biological make-up of your teeth, you should consult with your Charlotte cosmetic dentists to decide which type of dental crown or other cosmetic dental procedure best suits your needs.
